Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.7%

Today's tone likely to improve, says analyst.

OCBC Investment Research said:

The rebound on Wall Street overnight and the strong Nikkei start (up 3% now) are likely to cue the local bourse to a positive start this morning.

Despite pulling back another 0.7% yesterday, the STI still managed to close significantly higher than its intraday low; this important sign suggests that the index has probably found a strong support at the 3100 key resistance-turned-support.

With today’s tone likely to improve, we could see the index climbing towards the 3160 support-turned-resistance.

A break above this immediate obstacle will provide further strength for the index to head for the next resistance at 3240. Meanwhile, the subsequent base lies at the 3050 gap support.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
